AI Shortlist Blueprint

When someone in your city asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI who to call, a shortlist comes back. This is the plan to be on it: the questions buyers ask, who gets named today, what the firms ahead of you are made of, and a 30-day roadmap with the wording. Measured on five named engines and delivered in writing in five business days. If you'd rather we did the work, that's the AI Answer Sprint.

Sell products through your own store? The AI Shortlist Blueprint for Retailers checks which products and stores get recommended, then gives your team three priority changes and a 30-day game plan. $750, paid once.

What you get

  • 25 questions, selected by us. Drawn from a question set built for your trade and adapted to the facts you confirm at intake. We choose the set independently, so it can't be steered toward questions you already win.
  • 500 planned attempts. Each question asked four times on each of four named API engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity (400 answers), and searched four times on Google for your market, recording the AI Overview when Google shows one (100 searches). Google doesn't show an AI Overview on every search, and we report those searches as no AI Overview shown. We record the engine, the model, the settings, the date and every failed attempt.
  • Public-site evidence. Your home page and up to nine relevant pages, plus the sources the answers cited, so every finding points at something you can open yourself.
  • A written report, the list first. The buying questions verbatim and who is named in each, the one thing to check yourself first, what the leaders are made of, then the 30-day roadmap. After that: checks on the facts the engines state about you, where you were named or cited and where you weren't, the limits of the sample, and prioritized decisions with the wording or change specification you'd need to act on them.
  • Ten questions afterwards, and a walkthrough. For 14 days after delivery, ask up to ten questions about the report. Answers come from the evidence in it. A 20-minute walkthrough call in that window is included.
  • A 90-day recheck. Five of your original questions, four repeats each on the same five engines, with a short comparison.

Delivery is five business days from submitting your intake form. Work starts the moment you submit it, with no start date to book and no deadline.

Exactly what it measures

API answers and Google results pages under recorded conditions, on the five engines named above. Not the ChatGPT app, not Bing Copilot, and not the personalised answer any one customer happens to see. Implementation is a separate offer, below, and no citation, ranking or lead is guaranteed, because nobody controls those. If you'd rather talk it through first, email before buying.

$750

You pay upfront and there's no subscription. Work starts when you submit your intake form.

Included and named: the Proof Recheck at 90 days (five of your questions, four repeats, five engines; $149 at our list price for the nearest check), Ready-to-Paste Wording for the top three changes, the Source Map of every third-party page the engines cite in your market, the Competitor Playbook, and a 20-minute Walkthrough Call.

Get started

No questions before you pay. After payment you fill in one intake form, about 10 to 15 minutes, and work starts when you submit it.

Request a small sample first

Your Blueprint lands within five business days of your start or you pay nothing. On the first sampling pass, before we've spent $10 on your research, we check whether the answers already name you in every question we ask; if they do, we stop, tell you and refund you. Full refund any time before you submit intake.

Bought the $149 AI Answer Check? Its fee counts toward this for 30 days.

Existing purchased scopes and recheck promises remain as agreed. These limits apply to new orders.

Want us to do the work? The AI Answer Sprint

The Blueprint ends with a roadmap and the wording. If nobody on your side is going to touch the site for three months, it will sit in a drawer. The Sprint is us making the changes the Blueprint prescribed for the same brand, site and market: page copy and structure, business profiles, structured facts and citation targets, four to six weeks from payment and access, with a 90-day recheck of the agreed questions included. $3,500, paid before work starts, or $2,750 if bought within 30 days of your Blueprint's delivery date. If that recheck finds you're not named in at least one answer on at least one of the five engines for the agreed questions, we keep working for 90 more days at no charge.

It's offered when your Blueprint is delivered, never before, because the plan has to exist first. Buying a Blueprint does not require it. Upkeep after the Sprint is Stay the Answer, $1,500 a month, month to month, offered at sprint handoff.

Limits and refunds

We do not guarantee citations, rankings, traffic or revenue. Repeated samples describe the selected questions and conditions, not market share or lost sales.

You can cancel for a full refund at any time before you submit your intake form. Submitting intake is what starts the audit and commits the sampling spend, so it closes the refund. There is no time limit before that point. Your purchase does not expire. See the full terms.
